KiiP Information

Kilmer innovations in Packaging (KiiP) is a global, volunteer community advancing the science, engineering, and real-world performance of sterile medical device packaging, breaking down silos from manufacturing to the point of use. Coming out of 2019's Kilmer Conference, a group of eight people formed KiiP to lead the way to innovations in medical device packaging into the future - while breaking barriers between the groups in the sterility value chain to point of use. KiiP Vision: Improving patient outcomes by advancing healthcare packaging science, engineering, and understanding KiiP Mission: Challenging the status quo by facilitating collaboration, sharing knowledge, and promoting innovation and education throughout the healthcare packaging value chain Executive Committee: Chair - Jennifer Benolken, CPPL Vice Chair - Dan Burgess Treasurer - Dhuanne Dodrill Secretary - Ralph Basile Programs: Breaking Bad Biases (formerly LSTU) - Phillipp Hoetzl Last 100 Yards - Jennifer Zeck, Jane Severin, Adam Okada Aseptic Opening and Handling - Sarah Ptach, Malinda Elammari, Tony Trier Sustainability and End of Life - Kiley Djupstrom, Amit Limaye Committees: KiiP'ED - Tanya Magana Membership - Kat Olson, Seema Momin, Tyler Boyd, Jennifer Lauderback Marketing, Communications and Branding - Pieter van Gool Funding - Kiley Djupstrom, Austin Liu Please note - Negative or inflammatory comments will not be tolerated.
